Coburn and De Norre to miss West Ham derby
Millwall have named nine unavailable players for West Ham's visit to The Den on Saturday. Their official preview lists Romain Esse, Casper De Norre, Josh Coburn, Tristan Crama, Alfie Doughty, Ryan Leonard, Mathis Servais, Mihailo Ivanovic and Lukas Jensen among those on the sidelines.
That first-party list confirms Coburn and De Norre remain out and adds the full scale of Alex Neil's selection problem. The numbers are not subtle, even if Millwall would rather the derby be decided by more than a head count.
